ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITY ACT
The Planning Commission of the City of Tustin does hereby resolve as follows:
The Planning Commission finds and determines as follows:
A. Marine Corps Air Station (MCAS) Tustin has been determined surplus to the
needs of the federal government and has been approved for disposal by the
United States Department of the Navy (DON)in accordance with the Defense
Base Closure and Realignment Act (DBCRA) of 1990 (10 USC 2687) and the
pertinent base closure and realignment decisions of the Defense Base
Closure and Realignment COmmission approved by the President and
accepted by Congress in 1991, 1993, and 1995; and,
B. The City of Tustin has been approved by the Department of Defense as the
Local Redevelopment Authority (LRA) for MCAS Tustin and is responsible for
preparing a Reuse Plan describing the reuse of the installation and providing
recommendations to the DON for disposal of the former base to various
public agencies and the homeless. The goal of base disposal and reuse is
economic redevelopment and job creation to help replace the economic
stimulus previously provided by the military installation. The LRA submitted
the Reuse Plan for MCAS Tustin to the Department of Defense in October
1996, and an Errata amending the Reuse Plan in September 1998; and,
C. On January 16, 2001, the Tustin City Council certified the Joint Final
Environmental Impact Statement/Environmental Impact Report (EIS/EIR) for
the Disposal and Reuse of the Marine Corps Air Station'(MCAS) Tustin (the
Program EIS/EIR). The United States Navy issued a Record of Decision on
the Program EIS/EIR in March 2001. The MCAS Tustin examined in the
Program EIS/EIR was 1606 acres; and,
D. In accordance with Section 15132 of the State Guidelines, and the Council on
Environmental Quality Regulations (40 CFR parts 1500-1508), the FEIS/FEIR
consists of:

Final FEIS/EIR to match the correct table numbers in the FEIS/EIR.
Prior to the issuance of the certificates of use and occupancy, the project
developer shall ensure that fire hydrants capable of flows in amounts
approved by the OCFA .are in place and operational to meet fire flow
requirements.
Prior to the issuance of permitS for any public improvements or development
project, a development applicant shall submit to the City of Tustin and City of
Irvine, as applicable, information from IRWD, OCSD, or the City of Tustin
which outlines required facilities necessary to provide adequate sanitary
sewage service to the development.
Prior to the issuance of grading permits or approval'of any subdivision map
(except for financing and reconveyance purposes), whichever occurs first, for
development within the 100-year flood plain, grading and drainage systems
shall be designed by the project developer such that all building pads would
be safe from inundation from runoff from all storms up to and including the
theoretical 100-year storm, to the satisfaction of the City of Tustin Building
Division or the Irvine Public Works Department, as applicable. Grading
permits or subdivision maps generated for financing and reconveyance
purposes are exempt.
· Prior to the approval of any applicable subdivision map (except for financing
and conveyance purposes), the developer-applicant shall design and construct
local drainage systems for conveyance of the 1 O-year runoff. If the facility is
in a local sump, it shall be designed to convey the 25-year runoff.
· Prior to any grading for any new development, the following drainage studies
shall be submitted to and approved by the City of Tustin, City of Irvine,
and/or OCFCD, as applicable:
(1) A drainage study including diversions (i.e., off-site areas that drain onto
and/or through the project site), with justification and appropriate
mitigation for any proposed diversion.
(2) A drainage study evidencing that proposed drainage patterns would not
result in increased 100-year peak discharges within and downstream of the
project limits, and would not worsen existing drainage conditions at storm
drains, culverts, and other street crossings including regional flood control
facilities. The study shall also propose appropriate mitigation for any
increased runoff causing a worsening condition of any existing facilities
within or downstream of project limits. Implementation of appropriate
interim or ultimate flood control infrastructure construction must be
included.
(3) Detailed drainage studies indicating how, in conjunction with the drainage
conveyance systems including applicable swales, channels, street flows,
catch basins, storm drains, and flood water retarding, building pads are
made safe from runoff inundation which may be expected from all storms
up to and including the theoretical 100-year flood.

If a subsequent traffic Phasing Plan demonstrates that certain circulation
improvements should be included in a different phase of Specific Plan
development (accelerated or delayed) or that a circulation improvement can be
substituted, the mitigation Phasing Plan in Table 4.12-10 of the Final EIS/EIR
(see Table 5 at the end of the Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Program) may
be amended, subject to approval of the City of Tustin and any other affected
jurisdictions, provided that the same level of traffic mitigation and traffic capacity
would be provided (Mitigation Measure IA-5).
Reason: Required by the Ground Lease and, as such, is part of the project
description.

Each Specific Plan project would contain, to the satisfaction of the City of Tustin
and/or City of Irvine, as applicable, a pedestrian circulation component showing
pedestrian access to regional hiking trails, parks, schools, shopping areas, bus
stops, and/or other public facilities (Mitigation Measure IA-7).
Reason: The project will provide sidewalk facilities.
6.
T. he City of Tustin and the City of Irvine, as applicable (for that portion of the
reuse plan area within Irvine), shall ensure that all on-site circulation system
improvements for the reuse plan area assumed in the 2005 and 2020 traffic
analysis and as shown in Table 4.12-10 of the Final EIS/EIR (see Table 5 at the
end of the Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Program) are implemented
according to the cumulative ADT thresholds identified in the table. Under this
Phasing Plan, the City of Tustin shall monitor all new development within the site,
accounting for the cumulative ADT generated by development projects. As each
ADT threshold is reached, the roadway improvements listed in Table 4.12-10 of
the Final EIS/EIR (see Table 5 at the end of the Mitigation Monitoring and
Reporting Program) shall be constructed before any additional projects within the
reuse plan area would be approved (Mitigation Measure T/C-4).
Reason: City of Tustin responsibility.

Prior to approval of a site development permit or vesting tract, except for
financing or conveyance purposes, for'all land use designation areas in
Alternative 1 with the exception of the Learning Village, Community Park, and
Regional Park, a project developer shall enter into an agreement with the City of
Tustin and City of Irvine, as applicable (for that portion of the reuse plan area
within Irvine) which assigns improvements required in the EIS/EIR to the
development site and which requires participation in a fair share, mechanism to
design and construct required on-site and arterial improvements consistent with
the ADT generation thresholds shown in Tables 4.12-7, 4.12-8, 4.12-9, and
4.12-10 (see Tables 2 through 5 at the end of the Mitigation Monitoring and
Reporting Program) (Mitigation Measure T/C-5).

The City of Tustin and the City of Irvine, as applicable (for that portion of the
reuse plan area in Irvine), will monitor new development within the reuse plan
area, accounting for the cumulative ADTs generated by development projects
within the reuse plan area. As each cumulative ADT threshold shown in Table
4.12-10 (see Table 5 at the end of the Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting
Program) is reached, the roadway improvements listed shall be constructed
before any additional projects within the reuse plan area are approved (Mitigation
Measure T/C-6)
Reason: City of Tustin responsibility.
9.
The City of Tustin shall adopt a trip budget for individual portions of the reuse
plan area to assist in the monitoring of cumulative ADTs and the amount and
intensity of permitted non-residential uses as evaluated in the EIS/EIR (Mitigation
Measure T/C-7).
Reason: City of Tustin responsibility.
The following Implementation measures are not required to mitigate project impa'cts;
they are measures, which if applicable, to the project, would prevent impacts from
occurring and are either incorporated into the project design or are not applicable for the
reasons stated'below.
I.
Prior to any final map recordation (except for financing and conveyance
purposes), the development applicant shall enter into a secured agreement with
the City of Tustin to participate on a pro-rated basis in construction of capital
improvements necessary to provide adequate utility facilities (Implementation
Measure).

Prior to the issuance of grading permits or approval of any subdivision map
(except for financing and reconveyance purposes), whichever occurs first, for
development within the 100-year flood plain, grading and drainage systems shall
be designed by the project developer such that all building pads would be safe
from inundation from runoff from all storms up to and including the theoretical
l O0-year storm, to the satisfaction of the City of Tustin Building Division
(Implementation Measure). '
Reason: The site is not within the 100-year flood zone.
